Titanfall 2, Overwatch, Halo. Perhaps ArmA, if you're into that kind of thing.

I'VE DONE IT
I'VE DOWNLOADED BLOODBORNE FOR THE 3RD TIME

AFTER LITERALLY A WEEK OF DELETING STUFF TO DOWNLOAD A 30 GB GAME, I HAVE DONE IT

And I only needed 100 gigabytes of storage.

Portal 1&2 , Superhot, Antichamber and possibly the polynomial games,
If just meant the specific series instead of a group of common shit between them check out Unreal tournament.

Ugh. NG+ in Mass Effect Andromeda is fucked. Can't destroy special items, ruined several quest lines thanks to this.

Here's hoping BioWare sorts out this screw up.

If I make Eileen the Crow hostile in Central Yharnam after getting all her dialogue from there, does she show up to fight in the Grand Cathedral?

I can't believe Bioware makes such terrible games. I think I'll go down to their offices and protest. Maybe poop right in the toilet before flushing. Then I'll wash my hands thoroughly. Then I'll take a tour, maybe buy something. All in protest of course.

Blame EA buying them. Their stuff before EA was great - Baldur's Gate, KOTOR, Jade Empire, Neverwinter Nights...

Things took a turn for the worse after 2007 when they became an EA subsidiary.

Why tf does everyone want to use a Battlefield engine for their own games? Soon even Madden is going to switch over to the fucking Frostbite engine somehow. I know making new engines must be hard or something, but Mass Effect is Mass Effect and why use the Frostbite engine for EA Battlefront when it can have its own thing going on? I have a weird feeling that it'll turn into a 'Battlefield with lazers' thing, especially with DICE developing it.

Glitches aside, I thought it was a good game.

That or I might have... interesting taste in games.

Financial reasons most likely. EA's been licensing game engines such as the Unreal Engine then that changed when they released Battlefield 4.

Everyone using the same Engine would streamline development of games since it apparently only uses a single unified asset creation tool.

There's an important distinction between the quality of a game and one's taste for it.

For example, one can recognize that Mass Effect: Andromeda is an objectively bad game, while still enjoying it.
